gluten-free

In the midst of this hustle-bustle, hurry-hurry season, I find myself slowing down. Oh, there is much to do. Posts to write. Presents to choose. Schedules to plan. A tree to be decorated. But I am oddly slow right now, to the point of being stopped. All I’ve really been able to bring myself(…)

I’m an over-thinker, from way back. For a long time cooking has been for me a lot like 1st grade math: I thought there must be more to it than I could do or understand. If it didn’t have a lot of ingredients and a bunch of steps, it somehow didn’t even seem like cooking.(…)
